The RO Buddie Inline Sediment Filter Cartridge for reverse osmosis/deionization systems acts as a line of defense against dirt and debris. Use it as a prefilter prior to carbon filtration. It captures and reduces unwanted particulate material such as sand, silt, and rust from water which affect the taste and appearance of your water. The RO Buddie replacement sediment filter can be used for AquaticLife RO & RO/DI models 540016, 540017, 540019, and other RO & RO/DI brands which are Geekpure, APEC, and LiquaGen.

Easy To View Translucent Housing - The inline design makes it easy to plumb into many different types of filtration needs. Simply connect to the molded 1/4" Female Pipe Threads (FPT) on each end of the cartridge. The spun polypropylene traps sediment down to 5 microns in size. This 5-Micron sediment filter has a translucent polyethylene housing for easy viewing of the cartridge condition to know when it's time to replace. Replace every 3-6 months or 1,500 gallons of total water passing through the cartridge.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
